Will you participate in the MA Show?

The UCE show is tentatively scheduled for 17th September. Will you be able to exhibit your work on this date? This show will be held on-campus at Gosta Green.

If we arrange an off-site show, towards the end of September/early October, would you also want to contribute to this show? The proposed site for this show is absolutely spectacular and you would be a fool not to want to participate, but of course we understand that the late dates might not suit everyone. We also have the option of finding a new location and chosing a date closer to the end of the course that would suit the majority better.

We can not move forward with securing a location (especially the spectacular location!) until we get feedback from everyone. Please response soon with your plans for life at the end of the course.

Comparative studies

Comparative look at other shows - or a how to, or not to, do it investigation.

I can't believe Wimbledon's shows are only a day long. Someone should phone them to tell em how misleading their info is!

Can you see what you'd like to go to and urge Andrew to book a coach trip down



Finding Sponsors

We have asked everyone to look into finding sponsors for the show. At this point we would like everyone to identify about 5 companies and gather the name, contact and mailing information so that we can contact them about making a contribution. We aren't asking you at this point to make the contact or ask for money, but contribute to the search so we can compile a contact list to go off of in the future. We have asked everyone to do this because we all have different interests, contacts, ideas, access, etc. There may be a company in your own country or even town that would be interested in sponsoring that no one else would think of. No company is too big or too small. Don't assume that people will or won't contribute. Money is ideal, but the services and products of other companies could prove just as valuable to us. Think food and drink companies, media companies, businesses with a focus on the arts, local, national, international - think of your parents/family and who they work for. Please email your contacts to: ma.show_viscomm2007@yahoo.com.
Or feel free to contact if you have any questions or conserns. Please try to do this as soon as possible so that we can begin to get some support.

Thinking of a theme for the MA Show

We need to brainstorm themes for our show. Listed below are a few that we spit out at the last meeting. Please add any ideas about themes that you come up with. As well, if you come across a theme that has been posted already, that you feel could potentially be a winner, please feel free to comment on it, ie: add ideas about how it could be envisioned and executed, or what you think that theme will look like, or how it could come to represent who we are as individuals and how that makes us linked as artists; basicall why it is a good option or why you would vote on it. As well, if you hate something tell us that too. We will take a vote on the posted themes so by adding comments to it could help us to narrow the choices for the vote. Part-timers are welcome to add comments and vote also!!

Themes:

New Battle
Touch Me
Out of the Box
Sushi
Off the Wall
The Jig
Hospital Theme - Born Again, New Born, Made New, Fixed, Surgery .....
